Do you have a topic that is an immediate deal breaker if a manga series you were already reading suddenly featured that topic, such that you would stop reading the series (even if it was "tastefully" done)? For example: religion, rape, etc.

Well. This series is so silly it boggles the mind. I'm no expert in military matters but the concept in this story is just so unrealistic it distracts from everything else. I constantly find myself frowning at the page I've just finished reading thinking "That would never happen..." or "I suspect he'd get court-martialed for that...". Sure, it's shoujo, it's supposed to be unrealistic and silly but... damn.

This author did absolutely zero research into the REAL military and navy culture that follows a strong code of conduct. For a bunch of characters who claim to have been raised in a military environment, they sure are very lax.

You CAN get emotions and strong story plot points WITHOUT forcing the audience to have the strongest suspension of disbelief ever, as demonstrated by The Last Ship and the fact that this is a shojo doesn't excuse that.

This story could have taken place in a regular high school and it wouldn't change at all.
